nevisProxy using fail-safe session store with the database appliance
info
The use of MySQL Cluster / NDB for nevisProxy session sharing is deprecated and not recommended anymore, because it is not fully compatible with the dynamic session management of nevisProxy. If you are interested in a MySQL Cluster / NDB related configuration, refer to an old reference guide.
This chapter describes how to use the database appliance with nevisProxy 3.13.7.0 or newer to create a fail-safe session store with MariaDB. This setup requires access to the latest nevisProxy Reference Guide.
- Start the MariaDB server on the database appliance. Secure the database by changing the root password:
mysql_secure_installation
systemctl start mariadb.service
- Follow the instructions in the nevisProxy Reference Guide, chapter Setting up a fail-safe session store using data replication with MariaDB, to complete the database setup and the nevisProxy configuration.
caution
Do not share the same database appliance with nevisIDM.
